Title: April Fools indeed
Post by: frdrcklim on April 01, 2009, 03:38:59 AM
So I went to simtropolis and guess what I stumbled upon?

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi299.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fmm311%2Ffrdrcklim%2FAprilFools.jpg&hash=e6c059accdd26a4165b364b9301da64e6b600405)

For a moment there, I was shocked. Took me a while to process it was a joke :D.

BTW, Quezon, Nueva Ecija, Philippines doesn't exist since Quezon and Nueva Ecija are two different provinces in my country :).

Has anyone gotten a similar message? If you have, you gotta show it to us ;D.

And yet the party will be at my house this weekend.....House Warming Party for my new house.

Hey Pat, how come you live Tomahawk and I live in Rhinelander? ()what()  I mean really, if they're going to do and April Fools joke, they ought to at least get your place of residence right, don't ya think?

Hmm... apparently I live in Vallejo now (which happens to be about 60 miles away from where I thought I lived!)  What's even funnier is that the contact information is still my old work email back in Michigan.  :D

Maybe I should update that stuff...  &Thk/(

The city/state/country names come from the IP address you have, and who owns it and where.  I've been in Michigan and had sites think I was in California because the IP address I had used to be owned by a company in San José.

So it seems I am moving so that I can accommodate the masses
but at least I am moving to an snooty area, should help a bit with the street cred ::)

Note to self: Get in more supplies of Tea

Interesting. My prank is in the right city, but not the right ZIP code (90049 instead of my actual 90024). I guess I have some explaining to do to the rest of my fraternity... :D

I first heard about it by way of ST Chat. My bookmark link goes straight to the STEX and my computer automatically logs me in so i rarely see the homepage unless there's something interesting to look at:

Actually I live in Roanoke, 40 miles east of Blacksburg. I used to live in Blacksburg, yes, but I moved here in 2002 - I guess my IP address must be based in B'Burg...

Damn, tarkus! I thought forty miles was bad...  $%Grinno$%

I have to say Tarkus, having the most way-off distance from your home, the jokes on you lol :D. Well, the prank is finally over and the site is back to normal. Looks like the party ended before it even began :P.

Remember April Fools in Simtrop last year. It was some serious joke that really got me fooled $%Grinno$%. This year, Simtrop's April Fools is a more subtle. Look what they did.

Happy April Fools Day! I remembered what Simtropolis did last year for their AFD celebration, so I just had to visit their site today. I kinda realized though that the numbers on the dashboard change everytime you reload the page.  ;)
